 This book was intertaining June 25, 2008
I enjoyed reading this book. It is a very good book for people interested in the craft or just beginning.
 good starting point April 18, 2008
This book simply outlines the basics of Wicca. It is not for the avanced practitioner. I bought this book for myself and ended up giving it to a girlfriend of mine interested in learning. Misleading title, but an excellent how-to book up there with Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft.
Not quite a book of shadows March 7, 2008
This is a good book, but the title is a bit misleading. The "Companion" is more of a book of shadows.
In any case, good book, good explainations. Might be a tad bit complicated in some area for the novice, but if you really are interested in learning more about The Craft and Wicca, you will persevere in the more "cloudy" area and found this book to be a good tool. But if you are a novice, this book won't be much help without the "Companion" once you've understood and mastered the use of your Craft tools.
An introduction - the Dorothy Morrison way. September 26, 2007
I like Dorothy Morrison's books very much, and I do like The Craft (along with The Craft companion). The Craft is a very good 101 book, great for those that haven't read Scott Cunningham's "Wicca" or have no interest in reading that. Although I prefer Cunningham's 101 book over this one, The Craft is still very well-written with many exercises, rituals and such for really delving into Wicca. I didn't see any mention of raising energy (which is important) and the index left much to be desired.
Something that I really liked about the book was that Morrison also gave example rituals to perform on each full moon, with it's name and historical information - not just slapped-together sabbat rituals.
As I said earlier, it is a good "101" book, but it should not be the only one that someone refers to when wanting to walk down the path of the Old Ways.
A Great 101 Book!! July 25, 2007
I think that this book is a very good choice for the begining Wiccan, and I also think that there are some original ideas for more advanced Witches. The book's divided into 4 parts:
1. Basic witchery
2. Tools of the Trade
3. Circle Magic
4. Celebrations
Plus a 6 part appendix and a suggested reading list.
The tools of the trade section had some great excercies to really connect you with your tools. I enjoyed reading the esbat and sabbatt rituals, and plan to use some of her ideas in the future. This is by no means the only 101 book you should have, but I see nothing wrong with it, and enjoyed it throughly.
